Minister to fire cricket selectors

An angry Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage lashed out at the declining cricket standards in the country, saying that the team has now become the monopoly of a few players who think that they are indispensable. “It is high time that things were put into their perspective,” the Minister said.

cautiously optimistic about the news :) one thing which stands out that all the three current selectors havent played intl cricket for last 20 yrs i think.. perhaps out of touch right now.. Aravinda and Arjuna wd be my choices..

I got an idea - why doesnt the honorable Minister get rid of the selectors and become the sole selector! This unfortuanly folks is the problem is SLC - where was the Minister when the looting of SLC occurred under his very nose? What did the Minister expect in Aus? Did he expect to win the series? Where Mr Minister is the young talent of SL? Please for once wake up and smell the roses and keep your dirty paws out of SLC. It's absurd for this sort of political interfearence, its destroying SLC and the ONE common factor through all the looting and decline is the Honorable Minister himself,
